Template:Patent
Usage
editThis template is designed for simple citation of patents. Parameters are passed numerically:
- The prefix of the organization publishing the patent, examples are
- US - U.S. Patent Office
- EP - European Patent Organisation (under the European Patent Convention)
- WO - World Intellectual Property Organisation (under the United Nations)
- DE - Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt
- The patent or patent application number (no punctuation is allowed at this time)
- string "application" (optional third parameter)
- Patent publication data such as author name and title (this does not affect the generated URL)
The output is the patent number, and a link pointing to a permalink for the patent chosen. This output should be enclosed within reference tags (<ref> and </ref>) in the same way as Template:cite.
Note that patent application numbers are generally different from patent numbers. If you need this, please use the Template:Cite patent template with the optional application parameter.
Examples:
{{patent|US|6556992}}results in
{{patent|US|6556992|"Method and system for rating patents and other intangible assets."}}results in
- US 6556992 "Method and system for rating patents and other intangible assets."
{{patent|DE|19734511|application|B. Kämmerer, C, Maggioni, H. Röttger/SIEMENS AG: "Kommunikationseinrichtung" filing date 08.08.1997}}results in
